"The Angel appearing to St Zacharias in the Temple" is a fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painters Davide and Domenico Ghirlandaio. This artwork is part of the extensive fresco cycle that adorns the Tornabuoni Chapel in the church of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, Italy. The cycle, commissioned by Giovanni Tornabuoni, a wealthy Florentine banker, was executed between 1485 and 1490 and is considered one of the masterpieces of the early Renaissance.

The fresco depicts the biblical scene from the Gospel of Luke where the angel Gabriel appears to Zacharias, a priest, while he is performing his duties in the temple. Gabriel announces that Zacharias's wife, Elizabeth, will bear a son, John the Baptist, despite their advanced age. The scene is rich in symbolic and narrative detail, capturing the moment of divine revelation and Zacharias's subsequent disbelief, which leads to his temporary muteness as a sign from God.

Domenico Ghirlandaio, the leading artist of the project, was renowned for his ability to blend detailed realism with harmonious composition, a skill that is evident in this fresco. His brother Davide, who assisted him, contributed to the intricate architectural and decorative elements that frame the scene. The fresco is notable for its vivid colors, intricate details, and the lifelike portrayal of the figures, which reflect the Ghirlandaio brothers' mastery of fresco technique and their deep understanding of human emotion and narrative storytelling.

The setting of the temple is rendered with meticulous attention to architectural accuracy, showcasing the influence of classical antiquity on Renaissance art. The figures are dressed in contemporary Florentine attire, a common practice in Renaissance art to make biblical stories more relatable to contemporary viewers. The fresco not only serves as a religious and devotional image but also as a testament to the artistic and cultural achievements of the Florentine Renaissance.
